Happiness and Health

It has long been thought that happy and positive people tend to be generally healthier than stressed, hostile, or pessimistic people. In one recent study, accordingly to researchers they concluded that people with upbeat moods have lower levels of cortisol - a stress hormone that may contribute to a range of ills when it is chronically elevated. Such people also have lower levels of two proteins that indicates widespread inflammation in the body. Also, accordingly to Dr. Andrew Steptoe of University College, London, mood states are not just a matter of heredity, but depend on our social relationships and fulfillment in life. So lets live healthy and be happy!
